This study examines the Emir Hisham bin Abdul Rahman Al-Dakhil (172-180AH/788-796AD), who ruled the Umayyad Emirate in Al-Andalus and explains his policy towards the rebellion of his brothers: Suleiman and Abdullah, in Toledo and eastern Andalusian regions. It also sheds light on the Berbers' insurgency of Takrouna in the mountainous areas surrounding the city of Ronda, in the south, as well as the revolutions of the leaders of the Upper March. The cities of Toledo, Zaragoza, Huesca and Tortosa played a pivotal role in these revolutions. Many factors played a major role in the emergence of them; such as tribalism, competition for power and the intervention of the kings of the Spaniards and the Franks in the internal affairs of Andalusia, as well as the geographical nature of the country, but Hisham succeeded in suppressing them, thanks to the efforts of his leaders, rulers and soldiers. This enabled him to stabilize the interior front and gave him the time give Attention to civilizational and jihadist affairs.
